In another tip from the ‘everybody probably already knows this’ category, I have something for the Google Reader fanatics out there who sometimes feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of unread items in their reader.
In the past, when I was feeling overwhelmed by the number of unread items in one of my feeds or categories, I would just hit the ‘mark all as read’ button and move on, telling myself that I could never hope to keep up with everything, and if something is good, it will find it’s way to my attention span.
And we can not keep up with everything, but we can filter. Today, I noticed there are now more options on the ‘Mark All As Read’ button in Google Reader. Instead of marking all items as read, you can selectively mark your new items as read according to these pre-defined options:
I don’t know, this is certainly not life-changing – I realize that. But I just thought it was kind of cool and maybe, like me, you had not noticed it yet either.
